What do you mean by feeling sloppy?

225mm is about 8.86 inches. Do you really want to mount a tire that wide on a 7 inch width rim?
10mm is less than a half inch, 215mm is 8.46" and 225mm is 8.86". I am just curious how much "negative" there will be in the feel of the tire vs "positive" in the increase in grip.

I am also looking at putting michelin pilot super sport tires on my stock wheels.
